Why all the hate for Solace?

So why do most people dislike Solace? For me, it rarely gets voted and personally it is one of my favorite maps. Yes, it is a little large but not as wide open as complex. It "feels" more like a Halo map in terms of the environment, its symmetrical, and large gravity cannon in the middle (even tho it is useless.)

So who else likes this map, and if not, why not?

Oh and my top 3 Slayer maps are

People hate it because when they were playing with that one pro player, he said he hated it. So then people started to want to be cool and hate Solace too.

Then before you know it. All the "cool" people hated Solace and it was this trend. Like wearing sweatpants.---"I am not in danger, I am the danger." Walter WhiteGamertag: Cpt of Industry

Adrift slayer is pretty sweet. Love the hallway battles.---"I am not in danger, I am the danger." Walter WhiteGamertag: Cpt of Industry

You don't spawn on the symetrical sides of solace, its far to big, and has no power positions. Not to mention its cluttered with crap and is just bad map design.---Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

I actually like it a lot (it's my 3rd favorite small map after Haven and Adrift). Had some of my most fun games on Solace.---PSN & Xbox Live: supermoc10"Mr Zurkon does NOT come in peace"

Speaking of CTF...Why do people always pick Ragnarok? Every time I play CTF, Ragnarok is played like 3 times. I'm not sure if this is a good map for CTF or not, its just chosen by everyone, all the time. CTF lacks variety because of this.Same with Complex on Flood.---Visit Arashiboards.net for a friendly and knowledgeable Storm Community!Official Owlman of the I:GAU and MK9 boards.
